Agricultural businesses have the option of farming organically. However, to claim your business as “organic” the completion of an organic registration through the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is required per the State Organic Program (SOP). This process does cost a fee. For more information on organic registration, please visit the CDFA website.
